TY - JOUR T1 - DO something AU - Manning KD Y1 - 2010/03/17 N1 - 10.1001/jama.2010.82 JO - JAMA SP - 1018 EP - 1018 VL - 303 IS - 11 N2 - Pain from the breast cancer that was ravaging her once strong and able 66-year-old body, pain from the grief-stricken stares that her husband and family cast upon her at the bedside, and pain from the slowing of her mentation—her once high-speed, ultra-quick wit was now as slow as the stutter of dial-up Internet. She knew what she wanted to say; it just took a long time for the page to upload. My patient was dying. And, short of divine intervention, there was nothing I could do about it.
